How fresh in my mind are the days of my sickness,
When tossed me in pain, oil fevered and sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and weakness,
And even the old spoon that my medicine pore.
The old silver spoon, the family spoon,
The sick.chamber spoon that my medcine Dore'
How 10th were my feverparched lips to receive 1t,
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught could re-
lieve II,
Though tears Of disgust from my eyeballsit wrung.
The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon,
How awful the stun that 1t left on my tongue.

1t may be interesting to note that
this expression, which by many is re-

the high classical authority of the
Bible: 1t is job (ix., 20) who ex.
claims, in his anguish. Il am escaped
with the skin OF my teeth?" Some
common sayings, such as God tempers
the wind to the shorn lamb" Pour.
ing oil on the troubled waters" "The
war horse scents the battle from affair.""
etc, are supposed to bo in the Bible,
though not so. But there are not
many who, in using the expression Of
hanging on or being saved by the
"skin of their teeth" know the high
authority for its use. Notes and Que.

This was Mr.. Lincoln's last personal
quarrel Although the rest of his life
was passed in hot and earnest debate,
he never again descended to the level
of his adversaries, who would gladly
enough have resorted to unseemly
wrangling. In later years it became
his duty to give an official reprimand
to young officer who had been court
martialed for a quarrel with one of his
associates The reprimand is probably
the gentlest recorded in the annals Of
penal discowses, and it shows, in few
words, the principles which ruled the
conduct of this great and peaceable
man. 1t has never before. been pub
lished, and it deserves to be written in
letters of gold ON the walls of every
gymnasium and college

Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but

beware of thce! is good, but not the
best. Quarrel not at all. No man re-

spare time for personal contention.

consequences, including the vitiating

MlLK-MAKING.
Abstract of II. Lespinasse's Essay Read to
the Dairymen of Illinois.


Upon good milk depends the pros
perity of the dairy farmer, and that OF
millions of auXiliaries. 1t is to be
taken for granted that the farm is
adapted to the business, that the pas
turage is good-that tame hay and
other forage grows abundantly, ana
good cows have been secured. In
spring and summer boutiful pasturage
furnish material from which abundance
of milk is made. In winter the ami
mails are at the mercy of the farmer.
As he deals with them, so will the re-
turns be profitable, Indifferent or abso-
lutcly Improbable. Gentle handling
is at all times necessary. Between the
secretivc and the nervous systems there
is such an intimate connection that all
shocks ought to be avoided.
Raise your own COWS. Keep a milk
record, and select heifers only from
your best mixers. In breeding, grade
rather than cross. Use 4 pure-bred
bull of your chosen breed on your ma
tive cows. The offspring will gener-
ally follow the prepotency of the bull.
Adopt the best method of feeding with
view to keep the greatest amount OF
stock on the same land. Selling must
of necessity become the common prac-
tice on land of high value. Land worth
more than twenty dollars per acre can
not proftdbly be used wholly for past
uring The words of Israel Boies were
almost prophetic, when seven years
ago, in addressing this association he
foretold the abandonment of pasturing,
and the adoption of Il complete system
Of soiling. His dream was partially
fulfilled before his death. Dairymen
Of to-day are advancing with more
rapid strides than anticipated. One Of
the essential problems in dairying is to
maintain an even flow of good milk
to equalize irregularities of weather,
food and drouth, summer and winter,
so that cows shall have about the same
quality and amount of food at all times,
the same or nearly the same general
temperature, and nearly the same flow
of milk. A variety of food is necessary
fodder, enSilage, early cut hay, grain,
etc. Winter dairying is now much dis
cussed. Its profits depend upon the
warmth. We quote from H. c. Adams,
of Wisconsin: "In winter save feed by
keeping the cows warm. Give them
warm water in the barn"
A dairyman wants the fat in the milk
and not in the cows ribs, Weed out
the COWS that put the feed upon theil
ribs rather than into the pail. Never
mind their looks, Handsome is tina
handsome does"
Every thing about the dairy SHOULD
be brought down to rule. No rule o
thumb, but weights and measures. 4
man who does not weigh and measure
every thing about a dairy can not tel
what he is doing. 1t costs more t,
make milk from old COWS than from
young ones having the same milk pro
ducing capacity. The period of profit
able milking varies somewhat, but as
rule the best yield does not exten
beyond the tenth year. When pastul
age is short give the cows extra feed
When they once shrink, they do nc
come back again to their milk.-Prairl
Farmer.

The next day she was visited, and the So

organizations in the work of giving relief.
In three weeks the husband died and was
